I bought mixed in key close to Christmas time last year for PC, and I love it. It became an absolutely essential utility in my DJ toolkit. I did not foresee my wife surprising me with my very first Apple MacBook just a month later, after my mixed in key purchase. I sent an email to the support team that included my vip code for the PC version, and explained that I recently got a new Mac, and they switched over my license, no questions asked. I have never seen a company look after their customers as well as these guys do. I am pretty sure my next software purchase that I make for my birthday (june is not far away) is going to be either mashup, platinum notes, or pilot chords.

This seems like a full replacement for Captain Epic. Is Captain going to be abandoned for Pilot now - just like you abandoned Odesi when Captain came out? Please work on better upgrade paths for long loyal customers. I own: Captain Plugins Epic; Captain Plugins; Mixed In Key 10; Mixed In Key Studio Edition; Odesi Music Composition; Mixed In Key 8; Platinum Notes 4.0; Platinum Notes 3.0; Mixed In Key 4 - but it's still going to cost me $131.50 to get Pilot, Platinum Notes 10, and Human on sale (no further loyalty discounts) or $250 for the complete collection.

I've used it and Pilot is more easy workflow to get good sounding compositions, Epic is a bit complexer so I find them complementing each other. I'm also playing with Orb Producer and its like a in between of this two, at least I found it easier than Epic but deeper than Pilot

hey, we are not abodonning Captain Plugins at all. In fact, our last update to it was less than 2 months ago on 10/27/23. We have great plans for Captain next year. Pilot Plugins is like a cousin to Captain Plugins. we always wanted them to be compatible with each other, but do different things. Captain is like Photoshop - it gives you a lot of control, a big canvas to edit your MIDI, lots of tools, etc. Pilot is more like a MIDI generator/synthesizer - you tweak the knobs and create things based on what you tell the knobs to do. It's a different kind of workflow. Both product families can work together - you can make the chords using Captain Chords, and then make the melody using Pilot. We planned for people to use both at the same time :) Regarding upgrade paths, can you please please shoot me an email at contact@mixedinkey.com with your VIP Codes? I am sure we can work out a great deal for you, and I definitely agree that we should improve this upgrade path workflow next year. It's something on our roadmap.

Nothing for hip hop or trap or drill or Rnb? do you all not like those genres??? Just wondering 🤔
@mixedinkey
9 ай бұрын
Hip hop, Drill, Trap, and RnB require a different type of dissonance and composition, which is really interesting. If you use Pop music concepts in Trap music, it sounds really vanilla. So it'll take a bit more research-and-development to create the hip-hop collection, but when we finish it, it will sound amazing.

Pilot Plugins are MIDI generators that generate endless MIDI ideas tailored specifically to your genre. You can create chords, melodies, basslines, or arpeggios. It’s all about spontaneous and interactive creation with a "knob to MIDI" setup-perfect for when inspiration strikes. Meanwhile, Captain Plugins Epic sticks to the classic keyboard and mouse style, giving you the tools to craft detailed chords, melodies, and beats with a strong focus on music theory and structured songwriting. And the best part? You can combine them! Connect Captain Chords Epic to Pilot Melody, and any tweaks you make in Captain will instantly sync with Pilot, keeping your workflow smooth and integrated.

What the difference between "Captain Plugins Epic" and "Pilot 2.0" ?
@mixedinkey
5 ай бұрын
Good question :) Pilot Plugins are all about making music creation fun and interactive. They've got this cool "knob to MIDI" workflow going on that lets you whip up chords, melodies, basslines, and arpeggios on the fly, focusing on getting those tunes out of your head and into your track super fast. You can create almost an infinite amount of ideas with them. Captain Plugins Epic, though, is a bit more traditional, using a keyboard and mouse setup. It's perfect for digging deep into your music, building chords, melodies, and beats with a big focus on understanding music theory and putting together songs with structure. The best part? You can mix and match them. Hook up Captain Chords Epic to Pilot Melody, and any tweaks you make in Captain automatically get mirrored in Pilot. How cool is that?

Pilot Plugins offer a “knob to MIDI” workflow for spontaneous and interactive creation of chords, melodies, basslines, and arpeggios, focusing on quick and intuitive music generation. Captain Plugins Epic, on the other hand, uses a traditional keyboard and mouse approach, allowing for in-depth construction of chords, melodies, and beats, with a strong emphasis on music theory and structured songwriting. They can both be used together. For example, you can connect Captain Chords Epic to Pilot Melody, and any change you make on Captain will automatically adjust Pilot.
